Ride two wheels on your car licence Today!

Honda has introduced a scooter that you can ride on your car licence, the NVS50 Today. The Today is available in three colours and features quiet, environmentally friendly and reliable four-stroke 50cc engine, under seat storage, a parking brake and a security protected ignition.

Riding it is simplicity itself; press the start button, twist the throttle and go. It is fully automatic (so has no gears) and stopping is just as easy; pull the brakes positioned just like on a bicycle. The Today is also the first moped to offers combi-brakes; in other words by pulling on the front brakes, the back and front brake work together. This assists novice riders in effective braking, by maximising the braking efforts across both wheels (although Honda recommends riders seek tuition before they ride on a public road).

Mopeds are a booming market in New Zealand, their growth being stoked by ever increasing fuel costs, (the Today is capable of up to 65 kilometres per litre) their traffic beating capabilities and ease of parking, and the fact that no Warrant of Fitness or motorcycle licence is required; mopeds can be ridden on a car licence. The moped market in New Zealand accounted for 4793 registrations (or 46% of combined motorcycle and moped registrations) last year.

The NVS50 Today is just $2195 plus on road costs, and available at any one of the 53 authorised Honda motorcycle dealers in New Zealand.
